The researchers will showcase four technologies at the
exhibition: a smart factory operation control system;
Internet of media technology; a deep learning high-speed
processing system; and AI motion analysis technology.

In
addition, Dr. Kim Hyun of the Smart Information and
Communications Technology (ICT) Convergence Research
Department will present a keynote presentation titled
"ICT-enabled smart factory" at the IFA NEXT Innovation
Engine.

- Smart factory operation control system

ETRI's
smart factory operation control system can manage
personalized manufacturing that uses 3D printers or
robots.

In particular, it can easily reconfigure the
manufacturing line using modular design. In addition, it can
manage the smart factory in real time or analyze the
operational data using Internet of Things (IoT)
sensors.

This technology can be applied to sectors
requiring customized flexible manufacturing. Furthermore,
experimental products can be quickly produced for small and
medium-sized businesses.

- Internet of media
technology

Internet of media technology verifies whether
media, such as videos, photos and text, are safe and genuine
by using AI technology. AI is applied to collect information
from various media contents to analyze the harmfulness and
authenticity of the data.

Last July, ETRI researchers
developed a webhard illegal contents elimination system
using this technology. By comparing the reported illegal
videos and web hard posts using AI, the technology
automatically detects the same illicit contents for
elimination.

In the future, the technology can be used to
create reliable media services by blocking harmful
information.

- Deep learning acceleration system

A huge
amount of data is essential to increase the accuracy of deep
learning. The Deep Learning Acceleration System is a
distributed computing platform technology enabling computer
clusters to learn a large, deep learning model at high
speed. By applying this technology, deep learning training
time can be reduced by up to 4 times without changing the
existing models. Companies with data centers can develop a
high-speed deep learning system using this technology.

-
AI motion analysis mechanism

AI motion analysis technology
recognizes user's actions and behavior. Aside from analyzing
dynamic and complex movements such as K-POP dances, this
technology can also be used for effective posture correction
by comparing an expert's posture and learner's posture, and
providing an evaluation result. Motion-based educational
contents, sports posture analysis and correction systems,
and medical rehabilitation clinic service can be created
using this technology.

"By participating in IFA 2019, we
plan to carry out technology commercialization and overseas
marketing by releasing AI research achievements implemented
by ETRI," said ETRI President Myung-Joon Kim.
